And he wooed a little maid,
And he said “Little maid! will you wed, wed, wed?
I have little more to say,
Then will you? yea, or nay!
For least said is soonest mended, ded, ded, ded.”
The little maid replied,
(Some say a little sighed),
“But what shall we have to eat, eat, eat?
Will the love that you’re so rich in,
Put a fire into the kitchen?
